Chapter 58 Prepare in advance
Leaving the activity room, Chen Chu went to the practice classroom to practice sword skills and dragon elephant skills, and it didn't end until the bell rang after school at four o'clock.
He did not go to the reading room to read today, but left school early.
Walking out of the school gate, Chen Chu took a taxi to the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market.
It was still the bird and insect pet shop, Chen Chu walked in and asked familiarly: "Boss Li, where is the insect I ordered?"
Seeing that they were acquaintances, the boss smiled: "Here, I packed them in boxes, and I packed a few more for you in case you die on the road."
As he spoke, Boss Li took Chen Chu to a shelf inside, where there was a small box of 20 cm long and 20 cm wide, with some rotten leaves lined inside.
On these leaves, four insects with a total length of about three centimeters, long and narrow bodies, and a metallic luster were crawling around.
The most special thing about these insects is that their compound eyes protrude and their six legs are oddly long.
"This kind of bug is relatively common, but it is more troublesome to catch. Recently, wild creatures have become more and more aggressive, and many of them have weak mutations."
"Seeing that we are all acquaintances, I can charge you four hundred this time."
"Okay, please trouble Boss Li."
Chen Chu didn't counter the price, and directly transferred 400 yuan to him, carrying the box and a box of food 'Mealworm' from Boss Li, and walked out of the pet shop.
This is what Chen Chu prepared for the next evolution of the heavy armored beast.
This is an insect called the tiger beetle, which is carnivorous.
The most famous thing is its speed, known as the number one in the insect world, it can move a distance of three hundred times its body length in an instant.
After confirming that the next evolution goal of the avatar is to strengthen the speed, Chen Chu checked a lot of relevant information, and finally decided on the tiger beetle.
At that time, after absorbing the gene of the tiger beetle, not to mention gaining an instant movement speed of three hundred times the body length, even ten times the speed is a super enhancement for the heavy armored beast.
Actually, Chen Chu hadn't considered mutant beasts for the third evolution of the avatar.
But ordinary mutant beasts have great strength and strong defense, and they are not as powerful as the current heavy armored beasts at the same size.
Don't even think about those powerful mutant beasts with special abilities, they are not something he can afford or kill now.
In addition, Chen Chu also considered some special creatures, such as water bears.
This kind of insect is called an undead creature, which is more like a microorganism. Its vitality is extremely terrifying. It can survive in extreme high and low temperatures and adapt to various environments.
Even entering outer space can survive through special abilities.
But after carefully reviewing the biological data, Chen Chu gave up.
Because of the so-called tenacious vitality of this creature, the reason why it can survive for hundreds of years is actually a dehydration dormant state used to avoid the environment.
This state is similar to suspended animation, and nothing can be done. If you encounter an enemy at this time, you can only wait for death.
And its real active life cycle is actually only a few weeks, the idea of immortality is too exaggerated.
"Brother, you came back so early today."
After five o'clock, Chen Hu, who came back from school, was surprised to see that Chen Chu was already at home.
"Well, I have something to do today, so I left early."
As he spoke, Chen Chu called Chen Hu over, and pointed to the box on the table: "Xiaohu, remember to feed this thing for me after I go to practice in a few days."
Chen Hu looked curiously at the tiger beetle on the table, and asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of insect is this?"
Chen Chu casually found a reason: "Tiger beetle, my new pet, when the time comes, just throw a few mealworms down every day."
"No problem, bro."
According to the current growth rate of the heavy armored beast, it is expected to reach the third evolution around the end of the month, and at that time he may still be in Koroya.
So Chen Chu was going to hand over the feeding of the tiger beetles to Chen Hu.
When the avatar was about to evolve, he called Chen Hu to go out at night and just throw the box containing the tiger beetle into the river.
As for the reason, just find any reason.
After arranging things, Chen Hu took the initiative to cook. This kid has become more and more diligent recently. Seeing this, Chen Chu also took the tiger beetle upstairs to prepare for cultivation.
The actual situation is that he leaned back on the chair and his consciousness sank.
Immediately under the mud and sand of the Taotao River, a lizard-like black head lifted up, which looked very ferocious against the backdrop of three pairs of red feather horns.
The sand rolled, and a heavy armored beast like a crocodile swam out from the bottom of the river.
During this time, there was almost no distinction between day and night, as long as the heavy armored beast felt that it was digesting almost, Chen Chu would be distracted and control it to continue eating.
However, this is an estuary with deep water and wide rivers, and there are some ferocious fish that can adapt to freshwater, such as mutant white sharks with scales and killer whales with horns on their heads.
Facing those mutated fish with a body size of more than eight meters, the heavy armored beast would turn around or sink into the mud at the bottom of the river.
In the face of not knowing the strength of these huge mutant fish, there is no need to fight them. In case of injury, the gain will not be worth the loss, which will slow down the evolutionary growth rate.
Below the surface of the river more than 30 meters away, the river water was turbid, and the sight of the heavy armored beast could only blur a range of more than ten meters.
Just as the heavy armored beast wandered around for a while, a black shadow more than three meters in the distance entered its line of sight and asked back, and the heavy armored beast's eyes lit up immediately.
Compared to humans, it is better to judge the strength of mutant beasts in the water. The larger the basic size, the stronger the strength, and mistakes will only occur in a few cases.
For example, the Heavy Armored Beast encountered a two-meter-long mutant fish, whose body was like a sharp sword, and its speed was terrifying.
At that time, it just shot past in an instant, tearing a three-meter-long mutant fish in half, and then met the heavy armored beast, and was eaten by it.
But the heavy armored beast also paid the price, and was cut by the sword-shaped mutant fish on its abdomen with a wound half a meter long and a few millimeters deep.
This is the first time that the heavy armored beast has been injured since it evolved. Although the exoskeleton armor on the abdomen was only cut a little, it still shocked it.
After all, the exoskeleton armor on its abdomen is only two centimeters thick. If the mutant fish is more than ten times stronger, it will be enough to pose a threat to it.
Since that day, Chen Chu has become more cautious.
At this moment, the mutated fish also found the heavy armored beast. Because of the size gap between the two sides, instead of running away, it actively approached.
This is a small mutant shark, covered with gray scales, with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
After discovering the heavy armored beast's ferocious appearance and its thick and sharp limbs, the mutated fish did not attack immediately, but swam around it cautiously.
Seeing this, the armored beast made a bulky appearance, slowly turning in circles on the spot, shrinking its limbs and making a fearful and defensive posture on both sides of its body.
Soon, the mutated shark was circling the heavy armored beast several times. Without feeling any danger, it swung its tail and suddenly attacked from behind the heavy armored beast.
In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the back of the heavy armored beast, opened its sharp mouth, and bit down **** the back of the heavy armored beast's head.
At this moment, the seemingly bulky heavy armored beast suddenly sank, turned around and appeared under the mutant shark, its four claws firmly grasping its body.
Tear poof!
The heavy armored beast's sharp claws tore off the scales of the mutated shark, and when it was struggling frantically, it bit down fiercely. The terrifying bite force directly tore a huge blood hole in its abdomen.
Blood spurted out immediately, dyeing the surrounding river red.
Facing the heavy armored beasts with limbs, these mutated fish had no chance to break free as long as they were caught, and were killed by the heavy armored beasts with just a few mouthfuls.
In the blood-stained river, the black beast began to eat, tearing off large pieces of fish with each bite, making it look more ferocious.
There will be more
